By answering their questions, I realized why our youth are so important to STEM. They bring a new perspective to old problems. They question everything and look for answers in places we haven’t yet explored. They will be tasked with finding innovative solutions to future challenges and it is our responsibility to ensure they have the knowledge, passion and tools to do so. In return, our youth inspire us to be more innovative. They open our eyes to new possibilities and give us hope for the future.
As a volunteer, I place great value in what we accomplished at “Good Morning Science” because it cultivates a community of scientist and STEM professionals who are committed to teaching and engaging our youths. This event was my first volunteering experience and it will certainly not be my last!
